Reference News Network, October 3 report: According to the German news television channel website on October 2, Russian President Putin announced that Russia will respond to the military expansion of European countries.

"We are closely monitoring the increasing militarization of Europe," Putin said. "For example, Germany claims that the German army will become the strongest army in Europe. Well. We have heard it, let's see what it means."

The report said that when Putin spoke at the Valdai International Debate Club in Sochi, he said: "No one doubts that Russia's response will not be delayed." He did not reveal details.

Putin said that Russia's response to any military threat would be "quite convincing." He said that if someone wants to challenge Russia militarily, Russia will respond quickly. Putin warned against provoking Russia. At the same time, he insisted that he does not want to attack NATO.

Putin clearly felt annoyed by the warnings from Europe about Russia's increasing attacks on EU countries. He said: "It's really incredible. They try to make their own people believe that Russia wants to attack them." He called on Europeans to calm down and deal with their own problems.

Putin said that the policies of European countries escalating the situation are the main reason for the failure of peace efforts. (Translated by Nie Litao)
